14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft rolled out Windows 10 cumulative update KB4489899 for devices running version 1809 (October 2018 Update), and the company acknowledged three different issues.
First and foremost, update KB4489899 retains the Internet Explorer 11 that was discovered in the February 2019 cumulative update and which causes authentication problems in the browser.
“This occurs when two or more people use the same user account for multiple, concurrent login sessions on the same Windows Server machine, including Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Terminal Server logons,” Microsoft says, adding that a patch would be shipped in an upcoming release.
Then, the software giant says that some systems with multiple audio devices could experience sound issues after installing the update. The applications that could encounter such problems include Windows Media Player, Realtek HD Audio Manager, and Sound Blaster Control Panel. Microsoft says users can manually set a default audio device in their apps, as a fix should be released later this month.
KB4489899 apparently installing correctly for everyone
And last but not least, cumulative update KB4489899 also causes errors for certain applications and the Group Policy Editor.
“After installing this update, MSXML6 causes applications to stop responding if an exception was thrown during node operations, such as appendChild(), insertBefore(), and moveNode(),” Microsoft says. “Group Policy editor may also be affected when editing a Group Policy Object (GPO) that contains a Group Policy Preference for Internet Settings.”
In this case, the company says a resolution would be included in a future update, but no ETA has been provided this time.
